Hecht’s helpless hoping

‘”One can even imagine that I’m currently not doing so well,” says Hecht, who yesterday shortly before the end of the public comes his training NHL clubs onto the ice. The only one he is wearing a gray shirt that his teammates should give the signal: No physical contact, please! The 1,000 fans in the sold-out auditorium next door to the SAP Arena do not care. They cheer as the local hero makes his first round. Hecht waving at the audience, he has stirred. His teammates knock with the bat on the ice – a sign of appreciation. You know what miss pike.’
